Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
ever since growing up with video games and film in general, at first I didn't think I had it in me then as I kept learning more and more about concept art and sculpting I ended up pulling the trigger and going for it. I realized that I had the creative mind and ability to pursue this carrier, I want to create and inspire people through the screen with my realistic characters and creatures.
Throughout my teenage years I dabbled with video editing, photoshop, 3D and various other mediums. However, I never fully considered further developing my skills and becoming a professional. That was until I graduated high school and realised I needed to start learning something fun and useful. That was when I found graphic design, just the thought of creating creative digital work got me excited. That was when I knew I wanted to work in the creative industry.
I have always subconciously wanted to be involved in making games in general. My first game ever was Hercules on the PC that my mom got for me when I was 4 years old. It wasn't up until after dropping out of a course that I found no interest in that I realised I need to pursue my lifelong dream, and I have been actively working to achieve that dream ever since: to be involved in the entertainment industry in general, and the game industry to be specific.
I've always been interested but hadn't seriously considered it or my ability to do the work until recently. I left my hospitality job after 10 years and just as I was looking for something new I found the TAFE Diploma course Screen & Interactive Media as part of Job Trainer and thought to myself, what do I have to lose? Even if I wasn't good at it like I feared, the discounted cost of the course was well worth it to try. I can't wait to see what skills I develop.
I come from a creative extended family, from illustrators to architects to advertising artists, and was always supported in being interested in art. I grew up in a time where 3D was blossoming. I spent hours sat down watching Framestore's Walking with Dinosaurs, fascinated with how real it felt. I love the ability of 3D to enhance, stylise and create, and how much this has driven films and ability to tell stories more and more.
I have always been fascinated by CG and digital media. I even made my first video game in primary school. After studying my passions for some time I eventually realised I would need to "get a real job". I landed a web developer job. A year later when the opportunity came up to pursue a Diploma in VFX I was eager to get back to the creative work I loved. My Diploma is nearly complete and I'm now more convinced than ever that this industry is exactly where I want to be
I have always enjoyed drawing from as young as I can remember, but it wasn't until last year that I realised I could make a career out of it. As I was searching for university courses after finishing secondary school, I found courses in game design and animation. That's when I realised, art can be more than my hobby, but a career I can pursue.
